Alice Springs, Uluru Ayers Rock & Kings Canyon 8 Days Touring Package

About this tour

Eight days exploring Australia's Red Centre, combining Alice Springs town heritage with the desert icons of Uluru and Kings Canyon. You'll stay in comfortable mid-range hotels, travel by luxury coach, and experience sunrise at Ayers Rock, dinner beneath the stars at Kata Tjuta, and the rim walks of Watarrka National Park. The itinerary balances guided exploration—visiting the Old Ghan Railway Museum, Royal Flying Doctor Service base, and Telegraph Station—with unstructured time to wander Alice Springs independently.

Highlights

• Sunrise at Uluru with guided interpretive drive
• Champagne and canapés sunset at Kata Tjuta
• Three-course dinner at Ayers Rock resort
• Kings Canyon rim walk with expansive desert vistas
• Old Ghan Railway Museum and Flying Doctor Service tour
• Historic Telegraph Station and school exploration
• Four nights in Alice Springs town base

What to expect

You'll spend your first four nights in Alice Springs, with three days of structured coach tours hitting the town's colonial landmarks and museums, plus one full day at leisure. The second half shifts to the rocks: a two-night stay near Uluru includes a guided circuit drive and sunset gathering at Kata Tjuta. Expect early starts for sunrise viewing and evening gatherings; days are warm and dry. One night near Kings Canyon follows, with access to the rim trail's dramatic outcrop views. Accommodation ranges from comfortable 3.5-star hotels to 3–5-star properties at the resort. All transport, meals, and entry fees are bundled; you're not organising logistics yourself.

Good to know

Flights to and from Alice Springs are separate. Travel insurance is highly recommended but not included. The itinerary suits all fitness levels, though rim walks involve some walking on uneven terrain. Bring sun protection, plenty of water, and warm layers for cool desert evenings.
